worldwide news live from the heart of moscow this is he with me thank you for joining us today. more than a thousand students have protested in all of this against the last ditch a bailout deal the government struck with its creditors on sunday high school and university students marched to the presidential palace in the cypriot capital chanting slogans and saying their future. as the chairman of the bank of cyprus the country's largest financial institution has resigned. in the mediterranean state remain closed until thursday to prevent. depositors with over one hundred thousand euros in two of the main could see about forty percent of the assets levied and that's of course to raise money for this bailout reporting now from nicosia. so this is like. the heart of the deal but cyprus sealed with its international

creditors to get that ten billion euro bailout it needs and what will happen to this back essentially is it will be split into pieces and people with deposits of more than one hundred thousand euros that are uninsured will have to take a huge here a lost whatever money they have here and many cypriots for the past week have begun to motional rollercoaster wondering what is going to happen to their money to their savings and they look at this example one day it was here the next day it is it and they're wondering is the same thing going to happen to their jobs to their savings and to everything else they think they have precisely what did you choose and tonio a manager for the country's biggest bank the bank of cyprus has been thinking all through this rollercoaster week for the first time in my life for thirty years. and then last week and especially. i was going to. be more.

to. say you're. the bank of cyprus according to the deal will function as the good bank and will take all deposits a less than one hundred thousand euros from like it will however also absorb the debt nine thousand loans which like you receive from the european central bank as emergency funding assistance a detail that anger. is like they want to push. and while this employee he worries about the health of his bank other cypriots worry about when their banks will reopen if at all we have no cash we are just a truth behind him waiting to get some. or hell no

and while this you are. banking meltdown for many cypriots feeling towards europe is one of frustration but it's about the power of the time we get to . deal with the disaster. it was in this. before with the pounds. from. january two thousand and eight when we entered you're the only other side. to this kind of situation so. we're such. a situation to have to wait but. it's going to take so long and for now cypriots are forced to wait for banks reopen for cash to start flowing for jobs and life savings to be secure again. does or sylvia r.t. nicosia cyprus now reports to say that the money is being out of cyprus despite the

freshly installed capital controls with no way of telling just exactly how much cash is flowing out of the country in recent weeks a professor of international finance a ruckman told my colleague bill dog that the bailout might just cause investors to start pulling the big money out of many banks across the. it's good we tied a man to the greek social economic debacle and there we are seeing the supreme it going to go into a deep recession and this is going to be another decade lost for this country clearly the europeans and the i.m.f. they have broken one of the most basic tenants of financial crisis management and that is safeguarding the small saver what they have done is put the fear of god into small savers their own local banks and that's the beginning of the end for any financial market and specially for foreign investors coming into those markets no

one's going to be putting money into local southern banks anymore and indeed even those economies spring from which really fragile at the moment but big economies i mean if if the investors are sort of pulling money out of those countries that is significant in that there is a huge probability that it might actually start to happen because we have opened pandora's box right now and we can shut the lid on this now. well it's a big story and we love it when you get involved with the big ones here at odds he would like to know what you think about the ongoing situation in cyprus you just have to want to talk calm of course our web site you can participate in our latest on going world wide poll and today we're asking you what is next for cyprus now that the bail out is well more or less sealed as for now the numbers now for this hour from home and here they are now we're looking at what the majority of them will nearly forty percent now saying they'll be a total collapse of trust in the banks if that hasn't happened already and now just just over a third predicting that other countries are next in line for

a similar bailout deal down to about a fifth thinking the terms of the rescue will result in widespread protests well that's already underway and down to the minority now believing that cyprus will eventually exit the eurozone i do fear that number will rise as we continue to take your vote on a worldwide poll but i promise not to late you still get involved. live from moscow this is r.t. a post-mortem examination reveals that the death of the russians. boris berezovsky was quote consistent with hanging his body was found in his u.k. mentioned this weekend and the investigation does continue latest details now to watch the correspondent sara. the investigation of course into the death of boris berezovsky ongoing they've released the results of that post-mortem examination carried out by a home office pathologist this found that the cause of death is consistent with

hanging but there's no sign of a violent struggle now you're remembering and earlier statement from the police they said that there was no evidence at that point in the investigation of a third party involvement now they're still toxicology tests to be carried out and the results of those aren't expected for a couple of weeks the forensic examination is still taking place boris berezovsky is home and today the formal id procedure is actually going to be carried out as well to identify the body with the heat a controversial character that you had in boris berezovsky those always going to be this huge amount of intrigue and speculation now in a previous statement the police had said they're now trying to build up a picture of the state of mind of the man in the last days of his life i think a lot of people di feel that that's pointing towards police looking at the possibility that this is a suicide but of course no confirmation on any of these details safe are now other unconfirmed details that have come out during the course of the last few days that

there are reports of a scarf found by the body there are also reports that the body guard in self was actually asked to run errands on the morning then this of boris berezovsky died and so had actually been in the home at the time of course the police had said that the employee had then come back being concerned for his employees welfare and have broken down that bathroom door where the body was then found in separate pieces to this case in the last days of his life. he had given an informal meeting to journalists in which he'd spoken of losing the meaning of life and again reiterated this longing to return home to russia see quite a sad picture i think really this being built up but of course so many unanswered questions still at this point and i think that's very much what the police are going to be looking to do now is pull all this information together and try and answer some of these questions that remain as the investigation now progresses. and

over the past decade moscow has continually called for london to extradite the ex billionaire so he can be tried for numerous charges of financial crimes but with death a massive thorn in the side of u.k. russian relations has been removed according to author and analyst martin mccord. i think you go down as a band of capitalist. who was more concerned with power than money is political judgment was very very poor because during the year he seemed to be writing very very hard. because of school do good and there's a man who became a dollar million undercover troth he became a billionaire under yeltsin but for him tragically misjudged the situation after president putin came to power and ended up perhaps a religiously poor man people are very important and interests in fact seemed to come down to the relations between the two countries regarding individual west

remember that the reserves call for the physical overthrow of president believe putin when he was in power. that's pretty serious and he made many accusations. that the recess nation attempts against his life he play most blamed russia for that and so on that portion relations between moscow and london you could find it always in english press with his name came up. people expected a scandal and what it what is he going to say now about moscow and what is what is he going to blame putin again for something else. now with him gone that's gone as well hopefully we can move forward and if you like some of the poison has been taken out of the relations. it's good to have you with us just off to a small break a lot still to come for example a small dog can shuffle off to prison israeli soldiers are running out behind bars

for online videos deemed inappropriate by the army as to why the i.d.f. attempts to. campaign. plus the u.s. military admits that the number of hunger strikers at guantanamo bay has risen again but continues to deny most of the detainees there are starving themselves more to come in just a minute. when their own country trying to offer them a living even loving mothers sometimes have to leave their children behind. i don't like to work just longer. it's the dream of millions of migrants the children might choose their motherland. i want my children to win over moscow. russia has become this stepmother land.

to find a way home. we are not. a new powerful institution the brics joint development bank is set to emerge on the international financial stage says the fifth annual summit of the world's fastest emerging economies has now kicked off in south africa

and the leaders of brazil russia china india and of course the host nation. joined by egypt's president morsi book a place in the club with a not too distant future. since its inception in two thousand and nine many have been wondering what brix is all about a symbol of growing global multiple lera tea or a counterweight to the e.u. and nato the leaders of the member states have been cautiously downplaying its role saying this alliance is purely economic and exists mostly on verbal agreements officially it's not even a legally bound international organization the greeks leaders are only now contemplating setting up headquarters in one of the capitals but just look at every brics country separately russia the world's largest exporter china the world's second largest economy and the source of a cheap labor force india cheap intellectual resources brazil with its enormously powerful agricultural sector and the republic of south africa the continent's

leader in natural resources but the country's economic stats together the numbers are nothing short of impressive last year the brics countries average four percent g.d.p. growth whilst the g seven countries came up with only zero point seven percent and their collective gross national product already exceeds twenty seven percent of the global output and this economic might of the group of five who diversify into a joint brics development bank this idea appeared during last year's summit in new delhi and there are certain indications this year's meeting in durban could pave way to its creation should this prove to be the case the world may see a new powerful financial institution we are now on the verge of a formal decision. it would be a substantial in terms of capital and capital as substantial new international institutions these development bank is probably one of the major deliverables having brics more and more prominent in the area of economy international

finance development of infrastructure the common standpoint among the brics states and major international issues could also be a huge factor in global geopolitics the war in syria is just one of the examples. the group of five has been insisting on a peaceful solution to the conflict and with the moscow and beijing firmly standing within the u.n. security council against any military intervention no wonder experts say bashar assad recently asked the group of five to help bring the conflict to an end many experts believe that despite brics being an informal group its geo political weight is already very high as for political rule of bricks it's quick huge actually is the major international institution which preserved the whole human kind of solving economic problems for example the g twenty. i think at this point the decisions of g. twenty uprooted to the position of brics so brics has yet to become an officially established

organization but the russian president already said cooperation within this law will be more core store foreign priority this year and considering that at least five countries including mexico indonesia in egypt are willing to join the world may soon see a powerful alliance of developing economies which experts say even in its current configuration may become the world's wealthiest union of states in thirty years. dr charlie or the dean of the jindal school of international affairs he believes in the five years since its creation of the brics nations have proven that the end of the day they do mean business. from the early days when it was seen as an upstart that was still getting its act together and resolving in ironing out some differences we have come a long way in five years the fads of these summits are continuing to be held all of the life some of the critics who said that this was just a marriage of convenience or just a short piece i don't for a photo op and nothing more what we're seeing now is that the agenda is quite

advanced especially the economic economic integration among latin america asia and africa is being spearheaded by the legal of the brakes definitely russia and china are i would say the central pillars of bricks if you remember bit you know they were the old units of the concept and many of us brought along sold africa india and brazil to play a larger ruler and also russia and china are much more global in their overall approach towards the world order in trying to transform the world order the other three are i would say a little more student school east although they do want to move towards more people already. this is r.t. and the u.s. military has admitted the number of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay prison has risen to twenty eight but officials continue to deny allegations that

most of the one hundred sixty six people held there are trying to starve themselves to death all of this in protest of their indefinite detention the military is now making the facts a bit harder to verify as r.t. has guy nature can try to investigate. despair among guantanamo detainees grows as now even their lawyers are denied direct access to them attorneys say they had a visit scheduled for early next week with one of the clients who lost thirty pounds since the strike began at the beginning of february that is it was approved by the military but the attorneys say they've just been informed by the authorities that they cannot visit the client because the military flight scheduled for next week was canceled also most recently the navy decided to discontinue commercial flights to the camp so tourney's are really struggling to find out the true extent of what's happening in guantanamo now as u.s. officials obviously try to downplay the hunger strike more criticism is coming in from the international community with heard criticism from the u.n. commissioner for human rights very strong words from amnesty international they

call guantanamo an american gulag this is what the head of their security with human rights campaign said quote instead of justice for the nine eleven attacks one tunnel has brought us torture indefinite detention unfair trials and hunger strikes so i made a very broad international criticism of what the u.s. officials are basically nothing a few months ago a state department shut down the office that was working to close the prison which effectively means that the detainees are stuck there in this legal limbo indefinitely their attorneys fear that we're going to see more suicides human rights organizations say there were hundreds of suicide attempts at the prison at least seven suicides have been reported so far including a detainee named latif he had spent eleven years in guantanamo he was cleared for release by both bush and obama administrations he took his own life in september last year. well certainly plenty of all i catch from stories are waiting for you on our website right now for example where we were real friends like the main course

in the home in trouble of japan's tsunami. nuclear power plant last week well it's mostly shutting down its cooling systems. the twenty eight year old founding father of facebook is said to be making his way into gold. as more and mark zuckerberg is new fangled ambitions that our team don't go. the arab spring has failed because it was pushed upon the region by foreign forces with their own agenda that's the view of the former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh who himself was forced out by the uprising. first there was a marxist project then there was the nationalist project they've both been tested and now these foreign forces wanted to see islamists in action they said let's test the islamists who are of course known for being extremist foreign power players thought they could control the islamists while the islamists themselves wanted to

prove they are not extremists and have a right to come to power up but the arab spring is now fading out what was made of sand will fall back into sand this process was brought from abroad and that's why it is friday. and into the r.t. while there we go starting with the syrian opposition in exile which has taken the countries of the arab league summit in doha syria's membership of the body was suspended in two thousand and eleven after the start of the uprising against president assad and the opposition delegation is led by my watch i'll keep the president of the national coalition attempting to resign as leader at the weekend. yet to comment on his role as a national representative. the taliban says it's behind attacks that killed five officers and wounded four others in eastern afghanistan earlier on tuesday and this comes after president karzai said he's ready to talk with the group when he has its qatar in a few weeks u.s.

secretary of state john kerry has been pushing the country towards peace negotiations despite cars eyes recent accusations the u.s. is colluding with the taliban washington's are running against the clock though to stabilize security after troops complete their withdrawal in twenty fourteen. and the leader of the rebels occupying the capital of the south african republic says that he has suspended the country's constitution and dissolved parliament the militants captured the city on sunday forcing the president to flee the dharma great country i reports say that south african troops who have been helping government forces are also being pulled from the region by the rebels actions have been condemned by the un. so when does what's online cross the line in israel the country's military is widely using social media as a p.r. tool during its combat missions but what happens though when the soldiers start using these means inappropriately. investigates offensive and

damaging or bit of fun a picture of an israeli soldier with mud on his face titled a bomb a stone posted on facebook by none other than the head of the i.d.f. social media unity should don't wish to merge just as the government uses social media for explaining for complaining for propaganda or for spinning it also has to do with private soldiers using new media every soldier is a broadcast station. it looks innocent enough but this all just got two weeks in a military prison. one after posting these pictures on his facebook profile this infantry fighter was brought to book for peace of power and misuse of army weaponry . these soldiers turned their patrol in hebron into a dance move. it angered the i.d.f. but others felt they did a far better job of showing the human side of the army than any spin doctor if occurred under the military code of justice offense and i think that sergeant and

above which is in fact any conduct which is unbecoming an i.d.f. soldier would would would be for really potentially at least exposure to criminal liability could actually find yourself in jail but it's not always fun and games neither is it so clear cut the i.d.f. told r.t. that a sniper who posted this image was dealt with appropriately it's the problem of free speech i don't see how you can control it i don't think that the dancing is abusing power i do think that putting your sniper a more in innocent person is an abuse of power and i think this is that it's think that the army should do gil you gave was an officer with the paratroopers unit he says he'd brief his soldiers regularly about what they could and could not post online but many were careless or childishly unaware of the impact one clip could have you have to remember that soldiers are. kids.

eventually they're just they're just kids that misuse the misuse of power just for them just fun is not shooting the kid not trying to kill the kid the irony is that the i.d.f. itself put so much emphasis on social networks using them extensively to promote its actions. the idea of has taken its war to twitter facebook instagram and even tumblr turning its social media tool box into the most globally visible arm of the israeli defense force it started during the israeli gaza war at the end of two thousand and eight but the idea of social media department flexed its online muscles during the flotilla incident a year and a half later distributing regular video taken from an israeli assault craft and tweeting in sixteen languages after the most recent israel gaza war last november

the erstwhile embarrassed idea of social media guru boasted his unit had beaten the enemy suffered drug claimed foreign media asked more questions about the idea of twitter activity than about the army's bombings in gaza. but when ordinary soldiers start using the same platforms or that positive public diplomacy clinton's to be undermined one click at a time. to see on t.v. television. and if you can stay with us here on r.t. for just a moment it's good to talk a mentor an introspective look at the lives of migrants and russia working towards a better future for their children.

although since the new pope was chosen the calls for reform are analysts everyone wants the new pope to allow this and to allow that but the problem is that the catholic church is a religion not a product and people don't like the way a pepsi bottle looks while the company will have to in theory change it to meet public demand but the pope claims to represent the will of the creator of the universe the pope supposedly holds and protects an ancient an eternal truth so how can you expect this eternal truth just up and change because of public demand even though they pretend like adult religions do change over time but how can you expect the pope after hundreds of years of saying that people would be condemned to the fires of hell and eternity in a charred walls of the damned for certain sins just now say well i guess those sins are ok if you are catholic and you want your religion to change constantly then why do you believe in it why bother having principles and rules in the first place supposedly given to you by the almighty if you're just going to change them whenever you feel like it i don't get this but that's just my opinion.

some of the oldest city in central asia. was a prosperous humble on the silk road. today. if someone wants to go to a european country. if they want to go to russia. the mother of these.
